Question

Help! I'm looking for other moms who's son has gone through buried penis correction surgery???

My son (18 mo) is scheduled to have his buried penis corrected in a couple of months. Our urologist (out of Chicago Children's Memorial) said that in his circumstance, his penis will not come out on it's own - and to avoid future self esteem issues and so that he won't remember the surgery we have decided to move forward with the outpatient surgery now. I am a nervous wreck about the recovery as our pediatric urologist said that it can be rough. I'm looking for moms who have gone though this with their son, so I have some idea of what to really expect. I know it won't be easy for him, or me, but am looking for the number of days it took to recover...and any tips you would recommend for those days. Thank you!
